Who does Enzo idolize aside from Denny?

Enzo, the narrator and protagonist in "The Art of Racing in the Rain," idolizes Ayrton Senna, who is regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers in history. Senna's incredible skill, determination, and passion for racing resonate deeply with Enzo and reflect the values he sees in Denny's approach to life and racing. Enzo admires Senna not only for his extraordinary talent on the racetrack but also for his dedication and the emotional depth he brought to the sport. This admiration helps to build a bridge between Enzo’s own aspirations and the themes of perseverance and loyalty that run throughout the story.

While other figures like Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, and Juan Manuel Fangio are certainly celebrated in the world of racing, Enzo's particular connection to Senna serves to highlight key moments in the narrative and reinforces the story's exploration of what it means to be a true racer and a loyal companion.
